By baptism we confess our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and testify of our death to sin and of our purpose to walk in newness of life. Thus we acknowledge Christ as Lord and Saviour, become His people, and are received as members by His church. Baptism is a symbol of our union with Christ, the forgiveness of our sins, and our reception of the Holy Spirit. It is by immersion in water and is contingent on an affirmation of faith in Jesus and evidence of repentance of sin. It follows instruction in the Holy Scriptures and acceptance of their teachings. (Rom. 6:1-6; Col. 2:12, 13; Acts 16:30-33; 22:16; 2:38; Matt. 28:19, 20.) | ||||||

You are correct, a very good answer. Baptism was also practiced by the Jews for hundreds of years before John the Baptist arrived. Even baptism of Repentance (turning back to the Mosaic Law) was practiced at times before John the Baptist. A study of baptism without a study of the 1st century Mikvah is unfortunate. If you have not done so, it's a worthy thing to study. Very fascinating and helpful in understanding what the Apostles did and why, and why Jesus was baptisted at the start of his ministry. MJH |
